Early this month, Sarina Russo Entrepreneurs proudly marked Indigenous Business Month invited to attending the South West and Darling Downs First Nations Business Expo in Toowoomba. This event celebrated the achievements and innovations of First Nations businesses, showcasing the talent, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit of local entrepreneurs across the Darling Downs and South West regions.
The expo featured various business exhibits, networking opportunities, and access to valuable support resources. Attendees were able to form new partnerships, connect with industry leaders, and receive expert guidance on how to grow their businesses. By empowering First Nations entrepreneurs, the expo helped to build stronger, more resilient communities, setting the stage for long-term success.
Sarina Russo Entrepreneurs supports First Nations businesses not only during Indigenous Business Month but throughout the entire year through the Self-Employment Assistance Program. This program provides ongoing resources and mentorship to help First Nations entrepreneurs establish and grow their businesses, providing them with opportunities and promoting sustainable community development.
This Indigenous Business Month—and every month—let us continue to champion and uplift First Nations businesses through ongoing support and collaboration.
